What's the state of Iran's democracy movement?

What's the state of Iran's democracy movement? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about what's happening in Iran one year after the disputed presidential election and massive street protests. According to Amnesty International, a widening crackdown on dissent has left many journalists and activists in prisons. Some have been executed. What's left of the democracy movement?

Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What is the appropriate role of the international community and foreign activists in supporting democratic change in Iran? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Kaveh Ehsani, assistant professor of international studies at DePaul
Sahar Sajadi, a women's right activist
